Hi all,

Here i can see the beats was succuesfully collect the logs with this naming format and below is how the way its showed in logstash

Path =\> C:\var\log\myfolder\myrecord\_2019-09-09.log

My question is how to treat the timestamp here? Because on a daily basis new myrecord\_2019\_09\_10.log will be created and how to define the configuration in logstash output because everday is different date ?  
Any help is appreciated
